To solve the problem step by step, we will use trigonometry. ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a tree that is 12 meters tall. It has been broken by the wind in such a way that the top of the tree touches the ground and forms an angle of \(60^\circ\) with the ground. We need to find the height at which the tree is broken from the bottom. ### Step 2: Draw a Diagram Let's label the points: - Let \(A\) be the bottom of the tree. ...
